Joined Australian army at age 17. Served with
number 2 commando sqdn for 5 years. Applied to join the Australian SAS in
1990, after failing once, he finally completed the required training and
began service with the SAS and served one tour in Iraq. Returned to
Australia where he was promoted to warrant officer 1st class and continued
to serve in the SAS as an instructor.

He has been on several exchange programs, most
notably with the British SAS, US Navy seals, and USAF Special Forces. It was
during his time with the USAF Special Forces that he was injured in a
training accident and was found to contain the ancient gene in his DNA.
Though not officially a member of the US armed forces, the IOA and USAF,
through the US government, requested that he be entered into a foreign
officer exchange program. He was then put into an OCS program, graduated,
and was fast tracked to join the IOA’s Atlantis program, as one the only
Australian member. He went with the first expedition.

Since serving on Atlantis, he has become a
proficient pilot of the “puddle jumpers” used on Atlantis, and has lead
several off-world missions. When the 10th SFS joined the Atlantis
expedition, he requested a transfer. Though not a naturally gifted pilot,
his experience with the “puddle jumpers” along with his dedication,
stubbornness and hard work, saw him pass the tests required to become an
F-302 pilot, and his transfer to the 10th SFS Tau’ri Furies was approved.

Lieutenant Antilles remains on active Flight Status as
a pilot of the 10th SFS Tau'ri Furies.
He maintains his currency on a wide variety of Aircraft/Spacecraft types. His qualifications also include
USAF Special Forces
training. He also
maintains Expert rating on all NATO small arms, as well as all
current known weapons technologies obtained through Project:
STARGATE.
